Uncle Wu took the envelope from Song Sang and opened it. There was a piece of paper covered with ink, but it was the draft of a memorial submitted by Song Qiaonian, the censor of Shandong Province to the present emperor. Among the recommended officials, Wu
The name of my uncle Wu Erjiu.
Uncle Wu was promoted from Qinghe Qianhu to command the Qianshi, and was appointed to oversee the villages; Uncle Wu became the postmaster of Qinghe County.
Uncle Wu couldn't help but ask: "Steward Song, I don't know why your master and our brothers are strangers, so why do you hold him up so high?"
Song Sang smiled and said: "Well... my master wants to honor a group of people. Wouldn't it be too abrupt to just write their names in the memorial? So if I choose some irrelevant names and write them, it won't hurt!"
If I’m not afraid of offending anyone, there are many of them, like the two Wu brothers, who only play the role of accompanying the prince to study, but this official position is full of real gold!"
Only then did the Wu brothers suddenly realize. Overjoyed, Uncle Wu asked Uncle Wu to accompany the guests, and he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to collect all the things worth two thousand dollars in the house, and went to the pawn shop to pawn them. Song Sang got the wedding money and left.
, turned around and entered Ximen Mansion.
When they came to the living room, Ximen Qing was waiting there. After meeting him, he asked: "How did things go?"
Song Sang said respectfully: "As the Star Master calculated, if things come to pass, the master of the house will be deeply grateful to the Star Master for his great virtue!"
Ximen Qing laughed and said: "A meritorious service is only given to those who are destined. That's all, how can it be like that? Master Yushi thanked me for helping him to ward off the evil stars, and I also want to thank him for helping me enlighten my two uncles."
Where’s my brother!”
In the next few days, Song Sang, under the instructions of Ximen Qing and Song Yushi, sent several good news to the Wu brothers in succession, which made the Wu brothers fascinated. Uncle Wu was so stunned that he
He entrusted his children's relatives as guarantors and borrowed a thousand coins from Qiao Dahu, Zheng's brother-in-law. Then he summoned Tailor Zhao and led four or five tailors to cut ruler heads and sew official uniforms at home. He also called in many craftsmen to nail the work.
Several of them are four-foot-wide exquisite mica rhinoceros horns, crane-top red tortoise shell fish bone incense ribbons, and the copper coins are like running water.
When Uncle Wu gained power, he couldn't help but brag about it in the brothels and gambling houses. A group of government officials who were familiar with each other in the county government heard that the Wu brothers were about to become officials, so they all came to congratulate them. People in the family came and went.
, gifts continue to be given every day.
The news reached the ears of a group of civil and military officials in Qinghe County, and they sent people to the imperial censor's palace to inquire about the details. The cronies around the imperial censor of the Song Dynasty all spoke vaguely, and their tone was extremely ambiguous. This actually made people angry.
Everyone believed it more and went to establish relations with the Wu brothers one after another. Uncle Wu was so proud that he put on make-up and sat at home every day, greeting guests and chatting and laughing, which satisfied the addiction of the commander.
On the day that Song Sang had predicted, the day of the official ceremony was celebrated. The door of the Wu family was decorated with lanterns and colorful firecrackers. Uncle Wu opened the door early in the morning and invited in the relatives and friends who had come to celebrate the ceremony. Then, in the envy of everyone
Under his gaze, he ceremoniously led the whole family to burn incense and kowtow in front of the ancestral tablets.
It was almost noon, a good time for the sun to rise. The sound of horse hooves finally sounded in the alley outside the door - Song Sang is here!
Song Sang came to collect them on the orders of Ximen Qing and Song Yushi. Seeing the Wu family being so lively, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Holding a fist towards the Wu brothers, Song Sang said: "Brothers Wu, I'm sorry, your official titles have been invalidated!"
"Ah?!" Everyone in the hall was shocked, and Uncle Wu even sat down on the ground.
"This... this... where did you start talking about this?" Uncle Wu asked with a trembling voice.
Song Sang sighed: "Brother Wu, this can be regarded as your bad luck! Just yesterday, outside my family's official office, countless public posts suddenly appeared. The posts said that the Wu brothers were uneducated, idle, and warlike.
Holding the hereditary official position of thousands of households, he only lives by prostitution and gambling; recently, he has recruited temporary government servants in the county government and is running rampant in Qinghe County. All pawnshops, restaurants, and clothing and food shops are poisoned by them... The two Wu brothers
, these words are there?"
Second Uncle Wu was dumbfounded and could not utter a word. Although he had done a few of these things, most of them were done by his fair-weather friends in his name.
Song Sang sighed again and said: "My elders were surprised after reading these posts, so they sent their men to search around Qinghe County. After a search, they all said that the Wu brothers were mourning and their brother-in-law was newly deceased.
, so he colluded with local gangsters, raped his own sister, tried to seize family property, and destroyed relatives and betrayed family ties. Don’t think it’s serious! My family didn’t believe it at first, but after repeated interviews, he said angrily, “I thought he was the uncle of Lord Ximen.”
Brother, they are hereditary and must be of high character, so they hurriedly wrote memorials and recommendations without making any inspections. Who would have thought that these two people were so unbearable, and they were so strong before they became officials. If they became officials
, is that okay?"
Although there were many greeting guests in the Wu family hall, it was completely silent at this time.
Song Sang continued to sigh: "My master also said that I wanted to promote talents for the country, but I didn't expect that it almost ruined the big thing! Fortunately, these two brothers are frivolous people, and their flaws will show themselves. If they commit evil, they will
If you hide it and wait until the new official takes office, then start squandering, how many lives will be tortured? If it triggers a civil uprising and is pursued by the current emperor, the future that my family has earned with great difficulty in ten years will be ruined.
To be buried gently at the hands of villains?"
There was a "buzzing" sound in Uncle Wu's head, and he knew that since Song Yushi had put his words to such a desperate point, he would never have anything to do with the word "official" again in this life.
Sure enough, Song Sang said slowly: "My lord has gone to this office to plead guilty last night, saying that he was negligent and recommended an unworthy person. Therefore, the two relatives and friends who congratulated Brother Wu's family should leave! I'll take my leave first!"
"
After saying that, he stuffed a money bag into the arms of Uncle Wu, who was stunned. Song Sang said apologetically: "You will not be rewarded for your merits. Please take back these lucky money, Brother Wu." After saying this, he shook his head and left sadly.
.
As soon as Song Sang left, Uncle Wu suddenly screamed and fainted.
The crowd of congratulators in the Wu family hall exploded with a "boom". Uncle Wu's gang of fair-weather friends spent money to come here today, and now that they have lost all their money, how can they give up?
I don't know which one it was, but he suddenly rushed to the table, picked up the more valuable gifts from a pile of gifts, and then separated from the crowd like a rhinoceros and left. When the gangsters saw it, they all felt as if they were waking up from a dream.
Unfolding the Divine Palm of Moyun, in just a blink of an eye, he snatched away the gifts placed in the living room until the red sun rose. It was so bright that in the end, nothing could be snatched away, even the copper incense burner in front of the Wu family's ancestral tablet.
Suffered a vicious attack.
Uncle Wu's "friends" were all gone in an instant, and the hall of the Wu family was immediately half empty. No one took a second look at Uncle Wu who was crawling underground and did not know whether he was alive or dead. However, some people came out of the hall to dislike him.
He was in the way, so I kicked him a few times.
Only then did the remaining congratulators in the hall react. Qiao Dahu stamped his feet and said bitterly: "This...how is this inappropriate?"
Zheng's family was crying beside him. The heavy gift he gave through gritted his teeth had been placed there just now. Now it was gone in the blink of an eye. There was no place to ask for it. He fell back on the chair and said: "Repay."
Official! Report to the official! Give me back my congratulatory gift!"
This statement expressed the sentiments of most people present. In order to please the new commander, Mr. Wu, everyone was bleeding heavily today. Since Mr. Wu fell back to Uncle Wu, these heavy gifts should not be ignored.
Naturally, the property must be returned to its original owner, but now it has been snatched away by a bunch of ignorant idlers. How can we be willing to do so?
Uncle Qiao suffered the biggest loss. In fact, all the Wu brothers squandered was his money, and the gifts that were robbed were only a drop in the bucket. When he walked to Uncle Wu, who looked ashen, he didn't even bow to him, and said straight away.
Said: "Brother Wu, the money my ex-wife lent me has an IOU! I just ask you, how many days will it take to pay me back?"
I asked ten questions in a row, but Uncle Wu stared blankly and didn't answer.
Qiao Dahu was anxious and said in a stern voice: "Wu! If you don't pay back the money, I'm not someone to be bullied, Father Qiao!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of gongs on the clean road outside the door. It turned out that Li Dafu, the magistrate of Qinghe County, personally came to take charge of the pawnshops, restaurants, and food and clothing stores that Uncle Wu had been annoyed by.
As soon as Li Zhixian entered the hall, Qiao Dahu knelt down: "Sir, the common people have a grievance! I want to file a lawsuit!"
Looking at the robbed hall, Li Zhixian was wondering why it was so clean. Hearing someone shouting about injustice, he said: "What injustice do you have? Who do you want to sue? Tell me quickly, this county will decide with you!"
Qiao Dahu gritted his teeth and said: "I am suing the two unruly brothers Wu Bor, Wu Youde, Wu Kai and Wu Youyi for fabricating lies and defrauding me of 1,500 yuan of my hard-earned money! The facts and evidence are all there. Please make the decision for me!"
Those who are quick-thinking will immediately realize that the Wu brothers will not be able to stand up this time. It is better to be the first to sue him. If you can get some compensation, today's generous gift will not be in vain! So there are many
Everyone knelt down behind Qiao Dahu: "Sir, we also have grievances! We also have a lawsuit to file!"...
While the Wu brothers were in chaos, Ximen Qing was instructing Song Sang: "You have done a lot of work this time, Guanxing. Today, the great work is officially completed. Your family's future is guaranteed. You will be rewarded after you go back."
.”
Song Sang said with great joy: "It all depends on the Star Lord to make a villain."
Ximen Qing waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go back and give orders to the Yushi of the Song Dynasty! Remember to ask your family to keep a low profile and bide your time. Don't use this hidden dragon!"
Song Sang said respectfully: "I respect the Star Lord's order!" He went out to fly on Pegasus.
Ximen Qing looked at the sky outside the window, slowly raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and said with a smile: "The censor's side has been taken care of, but the Wu brothers have to look at me!"
It is:
The heavens and the earth put their hands together, and clever plans were born at the snap of a finger. If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation in the next chapter.
